[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will play:

Nursing-absolutely not, same salaries for Ivy or CC trained nurses, same options for NP/PA school(many which are online).

[b]Lawyers--seems this one is the most important[/b] to land high paying jobs, though still think being connected(through family or friends) and good social skills come a long way

Medicine-absolutely not, MD/DO the same, i guess if you are a cash pay derm/psych r plastic surgeon and Ivy will get you more customers but charisma. how you do your work and patient referrals do more for you.

Social work--not really-cash pay patients seeing online degree therapists also a thing here, more about your marketing skills than therapy skills.[/quote]

I’m an equity partner at AMLAW 50.  As far as landing a job, undergrad institution matters practically not at all.  Law school does to a certain amount.  It’s certainly easier to get into big law from the middle third of Harvard law than it is from Maryland School of Law.  But plenty of Maryland grads will end up in AMLAW 100 or 200 firms.   Almost all these firms have offices all over the country and hire from the local law schools. [/quote]
